VCIA is on the road again, coming to Boston on November 14 at the Seaport Hotel & Conference Center for our “world famous” VCIA Captive Road Show, where we preach the gospel of captive insurance in cities across the U.S. (and will even be presenting in Mexico City next year!)

The VCIA Road Show is an excellent chance to learn about captive insurance and enjoy a great reception afterwards, to connect with others in the industry.

The educational session will feature representatives from two captive programs, who will share their experiences. Tracy Hassett, SPHR, is President and CEO of Educators Health, LLC where she played a key role in the launch of edHEALTH, a unique entity, a first of its kind consortium of colleges and universities with the mission of reducing health care costs while enhancing consumer knowledge of options, plan design, disease management and wellness programs. Gail Newman, Vice President of Risk Management for Bright Horizons Family Solutions is our second captive owner panelist. Gail’s program excels in providing best-in-class family-care solutions across North America, United Kingdom, Netherlands, and India. Gail is passionate about business process improvements and creating risk mitigation strategies that not only support healthy financials and the “right” insurance program, but also keep employees and clients of the business safe. With the inception of Bright Horizon’s captive (APEX) in 2017, the business has been able to realize better flexibility and financial health for their insurance program and innovate insurance coverage strategies that are unique to the business.

Others all-stars presenting that day will be: Michael O’Malley, managing director for Strategic Risk Solutions; Dave Provost, Vermont’s Deputy Commissioner of Captive Insurance; and Ian Davis, Director of Financial Services for the State of Vermont.
